Third and final release from The Deviants. Sometimes referred to as "The Deviants 3". Future punk bands owe quite a lot to these guys, seeing as how they're one of the very few bands to have existed in the late sixties who garner the appellation of proto-punk, and they did it quite well to say the least. Vocalist Mick Farren would go on to be one of the most respected rock critics of the twentieth century, while other members went on to form or join other brilliant bands: Pink Fairies, Hawkwind, and drummer Twink's solo ventures. Farren described The Deviants musical style as "teeth-grinding psychedelic rock" somewhere between The Stooges and Mothers of Invention. Regardless of how you choose to hear this album, it's a classic, and that cover art is downright creepy. Make sure to check out their first two offerings as well,
Ptoof! and
Disposable. I'd be happy to upload those if requested.
